6 must-read internet standards | Opensource.com

https://opensource.com/article/18/7/requests-for-comments-to-know Reading the source is an important part of open source software. But “read the source” doesn’t apply only to code. Understanding the standards the code implements can be just as important. “Requests for Comments” (RFCs) published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) are important for Internet technologies. This article collected a few RFCs
